No worries, cc'ing the list so that the status is known to others too.

Nah, it's just lack of testing on my part, haven't tried to upgrade my
setup yet.. and 4.2.x is waiting in git but needs to update the
dnssec-disabling patches since we still don't have BIND 9.10.x in Debian
(and won't have anytime soon, since it's pretty much orphaned).

Upstream master (-> 4.3) will finally allow replicating with GSSAPI, and
has merged some of our distro patches. Could be that I'll skip 4.2 and
jump straight to 4.3 when it's available.

Anyway, feel free to test 4.1, and if it works just use it :)

No, since you don't need to replicate. And when 4.3 is packaged you
should be able to upgrade and replicate then.
